Chapter 157 Divide Sun Jie
Chaos is like an avalanche, appearing all over the capital.

Those "weak scholars" turned into "Gods of Justice" and rushed out of Wenhua Gate.

Along the way, the shouts continued and the momentum shook the sky.

The people in the capital hid in their homes and did not dare to go out to spy.

These self-proclaimed civilized, self-proclaimed moral scholars incited the green hooligans in the city to make them take the opportunity to cause chaos.

These green-skinned hooligans dare not go to the homes of those high officials and nobles, but only dare to go to the homes of ordinary people who are similar to them.

There was a riot, and human life became the most despicable thing.

I don't know how many people were killed by these green-skinned hooligans, and how many good women were defiled by these people.

The "lords" in the city turned a deaf ear to this, because they had more important matters to deal with Sun Jie.

Afterwards, they would express "sorrow" for the disaster of the people in the city, and at the same time, blame Sun Jie.

It is not the first time that the literati and gentry who have the right to speak have done so.

It was just a repetition of the Suzhou riots in the capital.

Chongzhen sat in the imperial study, dealing with memorials.

Suddenly there was a bang coming in from outside.

Put down the brush in your hand and follow the reputation.

"Sun thief should be punished!"

"The Day of the Dead is today!"

These words could be vaguely heard.

"Could it be that those officials are messing up?!" Chongzhen's face darkened to the bottom.

These officials dared to openly provoke.

"Go out and see what's going on!"

Chongzhen looked anxiously at Cao Huachun beside him.

Cao Huachun didn't dare to delay, and hurried outside.

Before he walked out of the boundary of the Imperial Study Room, he saw Wang Chengen approaching him.

Wang Chengen panicked and almost fell to the ground with his feet unsteady.

He jumped in front of Cao Huachun and shouted in panic, "Godfather, it's not good, the capital is in chaos. All the literati in the city rushed to the Wenhua Gate, demanding that Sun Jie be punished, and the city was also in chaos. Now, the green-skinned hooligans in the city have also started to rob the people!"

"what?!"

Cao Huachun was startled.

In the distance, a black cloud of smoke rose up and spread to the sky.

Immediately afterwards, several streaks of black smoke rose.

Cao Huachun looked at the rising smoke and knew that the capital was in chaos.

The instigator is the literati.

Not daring to delay, he rushed back to the imperial study and shouted at Chongzhen: "My lord, my lord, I want to rebel, I want to rebel, the literati want to rebel!"

"what?!"

Chongzhen was a little confused.

Why is it a rebellion again? !
Wang Chengen walked in with Cao Huachun, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Chongzhen, repeating what he had just said.

"what?!"

Chongzhen was startled and rose up against the crime!

"What did you say?!"

Pointing at Wang Chengen in front of him, his face was full of panic.

"My lord, the capital city is in chaos. Green-skinned hooligans have taken to the streets, looting and killing all kinds of things. The civil servants sit idly by and even agitate recklessly, persecuting officials, businessmen and people from Shaanxi, and even being escorted by them to parade. People are starting to die!"

Wang Chengen's face was full of panic. Just now he took the people from Dongchang out to check the situation. The scene in front of him made his heart chill.

"Where are the soldiers and horses of the five cities? What do they eat?!

Beijing camp, let the Beijing camp soldiers immediately maintain order in the streets! "

Chongzhen is in a hurry!

The capital cannot be chaotic, this is his most basic cognition.

If the capital is in chaos, then his majesty will completely dissipate.

"Invite the British Duke and them into the palace!"

Chongzhen roared at Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun didn't dare to delay, and hurried outside.

Seeing Cao Huachun's leaving back, Chongzhen's face was distorted to the extreme.

"These damn things, no wonder the ancestors wanted to beat them to death!"

The murderous look in the eyes almost turned into substance.

Cao Huachun soon came to the gate of Wenhua, he bowed his body, trying to help Zhang Zhiji up.

Zhang Zhiji glanced at him lightly, then pulled his sleeves suddenly, almost causing him to fall.

"Your Majesty agrees to punish Sun Thief?"

Zhang Zhiji asked coldly.

Cao Huachun looked bitter, and quickly explained: "Grandpa, now is not the time to punish the sun thief, the city is already in chaos, we must put down the disturbance first!"

"Hmph, where's the commotion? That's the cry of the righteous people!" Zhang Zhiji snorted coldly.

Open your eyes and talk nonsense, that's all.

"But, some people have already died!" Cao Huachun shouted again.

Zhang Zhiji closed his eyes, kowtowed towards the palace, and said nothing more.

No matter how Cao Huachun yelled or how he supported him, Zhang Zhiji was unmoved.

Helpless, I had no choice but to focus on Duke Ding Xu Yunzhen.

But before he could speak, Xu Yunzhen imitated Zhang Zhiji's appearance, pressing his head tightly to the ground.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen also looked like this.

The anxious Cao Huachun jumped around in place, but he couldn't find anyone who could stabilize the situation.

The shouts in the distance grew louder.

A large group of people holding banners rushed towards this side.

That bright shirt gave Cao Huachun a headache.

"Damn it, really damn it!"

Cao Huachun yelled anxiously, and the cold sweat on his forehead fell to the ground like rain.

When Zhou Yanru saw the literati coming from behind, his aura also became "majestic".

He looked at Cao Huachun sarcastically, and said, "Eunuch Cao, don't waste your time, justice will never be late.

Everyone in the world knows about the misfortune of the grandson thief, and he deserves to be punished! "

The voice was harsh, at this moment, he was like a god in charge of the world.

Cao Huachun stared helplessly at the rushing scholars, his face panicked.

He put his eyes on Zhang Zhiji again, and begged bitterly: "Master Zhang, the emperor treats you well, don't forget the emperor's kindness!"

Zhang Zhiji was unmoved, his head still pressed tightly to the ground.

Seeing Zhang Zhiji's appearance, Cao Huachun's eyes instantly turned red, and the veins on his forehead popped out. He sternly scolded: "Your surname is Zhang, are you worthy of the first British Duke? Your family enjoys all the honors, and now you dare to disrespect the emperor's order. Do you want to rebel?"

Zhang Zhiji didn't say anything, he was still the same as before.

Seeing Zhang Zhiji's reluctance, Cao Huachun was completely helpless.

He could only point at the scholars who were forced to come over and yell and curse: "You people are nothing but scholars, and you dare to force the palace. Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"

A scholar pointed at Cao Huachun's nose and cursed sharply.

"Steward, don't talk nonsense!"

The scholars around pointed at Cao Huachun and cursed endlessly.

Some even took off their shoes and threw them at Cao Huachun.

"You people, sooner or later you will pay the price, you will pay the price!"

Cao Huachun pointed at these people and growled.

With resentment in his heart, he turned and left.

Cao Huachun, who returned to the imperial study room, knelt on the ground and wept loudly:

"My lord, the servant is incompetent, the servant is incompetent!

The British public and the others were unmoved, they didn't move at all!
Zhou Yanru, together with the scholars in the city, beat and kicked the servants, and even wanted to kill them! "

Wang Chengen also added oil and vinegar to the side, crying loudly:

"Your Highness, these people are really hateful. They despise His Highness and don't take His Highness seriously at all!"

Chongzhen sat behind the desk, his face was ashen, and half of his body was numb.

Shortness of breath, chest rising and falling.

"They, they, what do they want to do? What do they want to do?!"

He grabbed the memorials on the table and threw them on the ground.

As if going crazy, he kicked down the table in front of him again.

"Is the Beijing camp his Zhang Zhiji's Beijing camp, or my Beijing camp? Is the Wucheng Bing Masi his Zhang Zhiji's, or mine?
Am I still the emperor?Am I still the emperor? "

Chongzhen roared sharply, like a toothless lion facing a strong lion challenging authority.

His previous thoughts were correct, but he never expected that these officials would be so arrogant.

It is undeniable that Chongzhen beat and killed officials, with the appearance of being in control of the imperial power and aloof.

It's just that he didn't touch the core interests of the officials and gentry.

When Emperor Apocalypse was around, wasn't Wei Zhongxian's momentum strong?
But the final result?
As a result of flooding the emperor's body, he finally died of anger.

Zhengde touched the core interests of the officials and gentry, and then fell into the water and died, and the same is true for Tianqi.

Once the core interests of the officials and gentry are touched, that side is their sworn enemy.

Why don't they dare to do it? !
Chongzhen had never been so angry, nor had he been so terrified.

Even when Jiannu soldiers came to the city back then, they were not as frightened as they were this time.

He was extremely disappointed, all the rewards and honors of the year were fed to the dogs.

The betrayal of a close person is even more chilling and terrifying than the massacre of an enemy.

The dagger hidden in the side is far more than the enemy's butcher's knife.

Now Chongzhen finally understands why his emperor brother allowed Wei Zhongxian to run amok.

Finally, he understood why his elder brother asked Wei Zhongxian, a man who knew nothing, to command the military.

Without military power, what is the difference between an emperor and a clay bodhisattva in a temple?
Cao Huachun hugged Chongzhen's thigh, with tears and snot streaming down his nose, "My lord, you can't, you can't ruin your body because of these anger!"

Wang Chengen hugged the other leg and cried loudly.

Seeing the two eunuchs hugging his thighs, Chongzhen became more and more cold.

In the end, only these two eunuchs were loyal to him.

A mass of fire condensed in his chest, as if something was about to spew out.

Chongzhen's eyes widened, his blood surged up, and his heart was distraught.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person fell down uncontrollably.

"My lord!!!"

Cao Huachun screamed.

"Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor!!!"

There was a mess in the royal study.

The weather is fine tonight. In addition to the bright moon in the sky, there are also fires shining red on half the sky.

In the outer city, a large number of houses began to burn.

The people wailed and yelled to draw water from the well, trying to keep the house passed down from their ancestors.

Unfortunately, the fire was too big.

No matter how much water is thrown on it, it will be evaporated in an instant.

A group of strong men carrying large wooden barrels walked through the streets and alleys of the outer city.

Every time they pass a place, a flame will rise.

They poured the military kerosene in the wooden barrels on the houses of the people, and then ignited the fire.

These military kerosene is difficult to extinguish, and once it catches fire, you can only watch it burn.

Many people couldn't escape, they could only watch the flames devour themselves.

Under the burning of the flames, he screamed and lost his life.

Who cares whether they live or die except for the tears of sympathy shed by neighbors fighting the fire?

It's just a means to blackmail Chongzhen!

On a wide street, the scholars arrested all the merchants in the Qin merchants' shops in the capital, tied them to wooden stakes, and covered them with firewood sprinkled with kerosene.

"They are all monsters, they are all people who want to rebel, they must be killed!"

A scholar waved his right fist and threw the torch in his hand onto the dry wood.

"laugh!"

The flames rose instantly.

Dry firewood crackled and engulfed the merchant.

A Qin merchant stared at the scholar in front of him in the raging fire, his face distorted because of the pain of the scorching fire.

But he didn't let out any screams, the hatred that penetrated into the bone marrow shrouded the scholar in front of him.

The assailant scholar was frightened by this hatred and took a few steps back.

"In the end, there will be the sound of Qin all over the capital, killing all the scholars in the world!"

His voice was hoarse and angry.

Turning his head to look at the fellow countrymen beside him, his voice was trembling but still tragic, "Don't cry, your lord will avenge us!
Ah, old Qin people, don't cry! ! ! "

The flames completely engulfed it.

After struggling a few times, he immediately lost his vitality.

Seeing that the man was completely dead, the scholar who set the fire took courage.

"Hahahaha, but a lowly slave, how can you compare to my generation of scholars!"

Spit into the fire, laughing wildly.

That night, there was no order in the capital.

There are girls who were bullied to death, people who were burned to black charcoal, and children who died by swords.
The vicious soldiers in the Beijing camp did not dare to deal with Jiannu, but when they faced the common people, they looked like devils from hell.

The cries and screams lasted all night, and the people in the outer city suffered heavy casualties.

They escaped the soldiers and horses of Jiannu, the plague, the drought, and the hunger, but in the end they died in the hands of their "own people".

The inner city is still peaceful.

This is the gentle hometown of "gentlemen", precious and tight, how can it be lost?

Shanhaiguan, Guancheng, Wu Sangui's study.

Wu Sangui, Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, and a man with pigtails of money sat among them.

The person with the money rattail is the person sent by Huang Taiji.

The turmoil in the capital could not be hidden from Huang Taiji.

When he heard the news, he was keenly aware that this was a great opportunity.

This is a great opportunity to completely destroy Sun Jie, maybe he can take the opportunity to take control of the Central Plains.

As a person who created the Qing Empire with his own hands, how could he not discover the luck in it?
So, Huang Taiji sent envoys to try to contact Wu Sangui and the others.

Wu Sangui and the others already had a grudge against Sun Jie, why couldn't Huang Taiji seize this opportunity?

However, he wasn't sure if he could succeed, so he just tried to send the messenger out.

Unexpectedly, it succeeded easily.

The small study room was slightly crowded, and the candles on the desk were dim.

The young Wu Sangui couldn't hold his breath, and spoke first: "This is a great opportunity to bring down Bandit Sun. If we do well, we can not only bring down Sun Jie, but even gather his soldiers and horses." , when the time comes, our military strength will be the best in the world!"

Wu Xiang, who was sitting in the upper seat, looked contemplative, and said: "Yesterday, Zhou Yanru sent a letter, saying that when Sun Jie fell into Jinling and the dragons in Shaanxi were leaderless, he planned to transfer us to Shaanxi to suppress the rebellion, but I always feel that this kid It's impossible to have such a good heart."

"I also think so. There is no such good thing in the world, so why is it our turn?" Zu Dashou also said.

The slave envoy sitting at the end suddenly laughed.

"Hehehe, do you think you are the opponent of Sun Jie? Let me tell you, we have confronted Sun Jie head-on. His strength is beyond your imagination. Without us, do you think you can beat him?

Your Majesty said, if you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, after you take over the world, allow your two families to have a king with a different surname.

At the same time, repeat the previous tax package system!Let your two families enjoy the glory and wealth for generations! "
